Title: Stretch resistant vaso-occlusive coils
Inventor: KEN CHRISTOPHER G M
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1996-07-01
Abstract: This is an implantable vaso-occlusive device. It is typically a vaso-occlusive coil comprised of a primary helically wound coil which may then be wound into a secondary shape. Central to the invention is the use of a stretch-resisting member fixedly attached within at least a portion of the primary coil. The stretch-resisting member may be formed into coil tips at the ends of the coil by melting the polymeric fibers or alloys or by attaching the fibers with a glue. This stretch-resisting member is for the primary purpose of preventing stretching of the coil during movement of that coil, e.g., by retrieval or repositioning after deployment. The device typically has a self-forming secondary shape made from a pre-formed primary linear helically wound coil, although it need not have the secondary form. External fibers may be attached to the device and affixed to the pre-formed linear member to increase. The vaso-occlusive member may be also be covered with a fibrous braid. The device is typically introduced into the body through a catheter. The device is passed axially through the catheter sheath and assumes its secondary form upon exiting the catheter. <IMAGE>

Inventor: BARNES ANDREW CARTNER
IPC: A61K39/02
Filed: 2000-08-07
Abstract: A vaccine composition is provided for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of fish for infection by bacteria, particularly by the organism <i>Photobacterium damselae</i> subsp. <i>piscicida</i>. The composition comprises components produced by a culture of the organism. The culture is treated to kill the organism prior to use, preferably by treatment with formalin after components have been produced.
